Retired cop hints at Coke’s whereabouts

KINGSTON – Retired tough cop Reneto Adams is urging the police not to rule out searching the homes of some politicians and individuals who he termed “society people” in their effort to nab alleged narcotic and gun fugitive Christopher “Dudus” Coke.Coke, who has been on the run since last Monday when the security forces launched a massive operation in his Tivoli Gardens power base to apprehend him and restore order to the community, is wanted in the United States on drug and gun-running charges. The controversial former senior superintendent Adams, who was speaking last Thursday at a Rotary Club of Kingston luncheon at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in Kingston, said that “based on his intelligence and experience”, Coke could be taking refuge at the homes of either politicians or influential persons within the society. “I must tell you, maybe, and I believe that this is why they have not found this man, but this is my intelligence and this is what I know – and I know it because I served the Jamaica Constabulary Force for 41 years – where this man may be hiding,” Adams began.“[He may be hiding] at the house of the politicians, the house of certain people in society and there is a particular house that I have great respect for that I will not mention but a word to the wise is sufficient,” Adams added.
